Last year the HERALD issued a daily
during the County Fair. This year we
have decided not to do so. The Dem

ton to print a daily and we are content
to let them have full swing in that line.
1t takes a great deal Of work to get up {
good daily and the business men fee
that they are called on pretty often fol
advertising. One daily will probably
be enough this year both for the pub
fishers and the public.

A Wonderful Armless Man.

Recently there died ut Potsdam,
New York, wonderful man; says
the August Chronicle. An acci>
dent deprived him of both arms,
which were alnputated at the
shoulder. He earned living by
using his feet and mouth instead
of his arms.
We are told that he owned a
horse, of which he took the entire
care, harnessed it, fastened and
unfastened the buckles with his
teeth and drove with reins tied
around his shoulders.
Being in need of a wagon, he
bought wheels and axels ana built
a box buggy complete and painted
it. He went to the barn one win
ter day and built a COW stable,
saving the timber with his feet,
and with the hammer in one TOO
and holding the nail with the other,
he nailed the boards on as we'll as
most me,I could do with their
hands. He dug well twelve feet
deep on a farm III the town and
stoned it himself. He could move
away hay by holding the fork I'M
der his chin and letting it rest
against his shoulder. He could
pick up potatoes in the field as fast
as a man could dig them. He
would dress himself, get his meals,
write his letters, and in fact do al
most anything that any man with
two hands could do.
Manya man with all of his phys.
ical faculties unimpared mourns
because he cannot get along, and
yet this armless brother made him
self independent without arms or
hands. He was like the crimson
hero, who, when his lower limbs
was shot away wrote to the woman
he was engaged to marry releasing
her She answered Il will mar
ry you if you have enough body
remaining to contain your noble

HOW TO co TO SLEEP SOON
A Simple Cure for Insomnia-A
Boon to the Weary.

| had frequently noticed that
when engaged in deep thought,
particularly at night, there SEEM
ed to be something like a compress
sion of the eyelids, the upper one
especially, and the eyes themselves
were apparently turned upward, as
if looking in that direction, says d
writer in Chambers Journal. This
invariably occurred, and the mo-
ment, that, by an effort, / arrests
ed the course Of thought and freed
the mind from the subject with
which it was engaged the eyes re>
stunned their natural position and
the compression of the lids ceased.
Now,it occurred to me one night
that / would not allow the eyes to
turn upward, but kept them de-
terminedly in the opposite position
as if looking down, AID, having
done so for a short time, l found
that the mind did not revert to the
thoughts with which it had been
occupied, l soon fell asleep. I
tried the plan again with the same
result, and after an experience Of
two years | can truly say that UNI
less when something really annoy
ing or worrying occurred, l have
always been able to go to sleep
sleep very shortly after retiring to
rest.
There may occasionally be some
difficulty in keeping the eyes in the
position | have described, but a d.,
termined effort 10 do so is all that
is required, and am certain that.
if kept in the down-looking posts
ton, it will be found that compo.
sure and sleep will be the result.

IN AHURRY FOR A HUSBAND.
The Queer Matrimonial Middle
Which an Advertisement Caused
A Bad Pain to Follow.

LOUISVILLE, August 13.-The
disastrous results of an ancient
maiden's fastening to marry the
first man that comes along is illus
tratcd forcibly in the case of Miss
Sallie Murray, a reputable lady of
No. 700 West Jefferson street, who
married William Bell, alias Read,
some time ago.
Miss Murray boarded with Mrs
Cain at No. 624 West Walnut
street last spring, and one day at
the table one of the boarders iok-
ingly suggested to rthat she ought
to get married, and when she in-
quired how she would be able to
find a man of her choice, he said
advertise" The gentleman said
a friend of his was running a pa
per called the Matrimonial News,
aud if she would will so, he would
write her an advertisement and
give her a good send-oft in the
matrimonial agency. The sugges-
ton was carried out, the adver-
tisement inserted, and in due time
Miss hurry received two apprica-
tons for matrimony, one from a
biped in St. Louis and the other
from an individual in Virgania, the
applications describing their hab-
its, personal appearance in circum-
stances. The lady submitted to
her gentleman friend both applica-
tions and he suggested that the st.
Louis man was the best catch. Miss
Murray exchanged photographs
with the St. Louis man, who gave
his name as William Read, and in
time arriving from St. Louis, one
night he made his appearance at
Mrs. Gains house, at No. 624
West Walnut street, where she
was then stopping.
In a day Miss Murray was made
Mrs. Read, the boarders in the
household all joining in the we'd
ding to make it as pleasant as pos
sible.
Read was an artistic painter, he
said, and every day went forth
with his working clothes and lunch.
and returned in the evening for
supper. Soon he became tired OF
work here, and went to st. Louis,
where he said he could obtain more
lucrative employment. 1t now
transpires that he did not work a
a day while here, and was hood

The Dean Bill.

An opportunity will soon be af
forded to see what the Legislature
thinks of the Dean bill which pro
vides for the sale of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad. The i'm
preston is that the sentiment
among the people and in the Leg
islature in favor of selling The road
is growing stronger. The more
the matter is considered the strong
er appear the reasons for its sale
As long as the State owns the road
there will be no Legislation that
will tend to decrease the value of
that property, even though such
Legislation would benefit a great
many people and assist in the de-
veloprent of verp large section
of the State.
Assuming that the property has
been honestly managed in the past,
what assurance is there that will
continue to be so managed? IF the
road is leased for another term of
twenty years its value at the end
of that term may be greatly impair
ed. The management OF it may
be wholly differe..t from what it
has been, and it may come back
into the possession OF the State a
complete wreck.
Who can tell what political
changes will occur in the State
within the next twenty years, or
what kind of men will control the
States affairs? While the proba>
bilities are that honest and patriot
ic men will be chosen to fill the
places of honor there is chance
that demagogues and tricksters will
get into power and rob the State,
as has beez the case in other States.
There is no doubt that the road
can now be sold for all that it is
worth and all that it is likely to be
worth. What its approximate
value is can easily be obtained
from experts. The Dean bill pro-
vides that it shall not be sold for
less than SS,450,5 500. 1t may be
worth a great deal more than that.
If it is offered for sale there will be
bidders for it, and they will be will
ing to pay its full value for it.
About the only argument that
is advanced against its sale that
finds Judgment in the public
mind is shat the school fund will
suffer a serious loss. Why should
it2 The money that is obtained
for the road will be'used to pay the
States bonds, and the money that
is now paid out for interest on the
bonds can be used for school pur-
poses-or so much of it as il may
be deemed wise to use for that pur-
pose. Indeed, the State will be
in better position to assist the
public schools if the road is sold
than if is now. There need be no
fear that if the debt is paid the
taxes will be so reduced that there
will be nothing for the schools.
The common school system has a
warm place in the affections of the
people and they would not consent
to give up.
We do not undertake to say
that the Dean bill cannot be i'm
proved. When it is considered it
may appear that it is faulty in
many respects. Weapprove. how
ever, of its purpose, because we
think that the. best thing that
can be done with the road, for the
good of the State, is to sell it.

A few days ago Mrs. Read left

the case. She had evidently gone
over to St. Louis to ascertain why
her newly made husband was not

she found that Reads proper name

two or three other wives living.
In the first place Bell, alias
